This FAQ will cover Smackdown! vs. RaW 2006 (henceforth SVR06) from its most
basic points to its most advanced.
SVR06 is an extremely deep game with lots to see and do.  I will try my best to
cover everything, but as I am human, I am almost certain to leave something
out.  If you happen to see something missing from the FAQ, you can email me at

SVR06's core gameplay is much like you have come to expect from the series.  It
is for the most part pretty solid.  Only slight selling issues from the enemy
AI really detract from the fun.  In layman's terms, your adversaries don't stay
down long enough.  This is particularly noticeable when using a character with
a top rope finisher like Rob Van Dam or the late Eddie Guerrero.  You have to
beat your foe to a pulp to even have a shot at nailing a Frog Splash, but
luckily there are some in-game sliders to counter this.
Now that I've gotten that minor gripe out of the way, we can begin.
